Fruit Machine Chat

If the 'old' style Gamesnet you are playing includes 'Deal or No Deal' then you have probably been rumbled - they appear to have fixed another of their 'leaky' games also.

Saw it out Norfolk way on an itBox.

Anybody seen this yet? Came across one the other day. Better than Mike Read's Football Quiz I have to say. Not sure about some of the questions though.

If you put 5 x £1 coins in and play 1 game it'll let you have £4 back. Works exactly the same way as the note thing.

Tic Tac Trivia was JPM and came out just before they did Give Us a Break.

It was 'Eyes Down' you were referring to, and not the shitty Bell Fruit one that appeared on itBox recently

Bah. More crap from the Hex Appeal files this time.......... Inventors: 6 4 1 The answer, apparently, is Gustav Dahl N Gustav C. Dahl, I have since discovered, is some sort of early 20th Century physicist. I have no idea why is should be Gustav Dahl N. I did find a new category I had never seen befo...

Saw it the other day. Takes a while to understand what you have to do to win on it. Looked like it might offer me a £1 if I had the patience to sit there for half an hour.

In order to win your free 50p you need to solve the following puzzler:

The Diagrammatic and Video Imagery Nefariously Concealed Inside Currently Obscure Daily E-Mails is so Subliminal, Horsforth in Turmoil

I seem to be blessed with more of these this week (could be because I've cranked up my play I suppose, so I can take a month off for the impending footy fest) Seen on Japseye today: Who invaded Hong Kong in 1841? Options were: A/ Hong Kong B/ China I was mildly concerned by the lack of Britain as an...

Here's a topical one:

Who won the World Cup in 1970?

Brazil
Italy
West Germany

It wants Italy as the answer.

Ironically, it was on a Big Match, which amused me.

Foxy - you just need a longer finger. The itbox never shorts you, the money is always up the chute. The only time they short you legitimately, they shove up an IOU message on the screen so you can get it off the gaffer.

Ahh yes. These are indeed nice occurrences when they happen. I am continually finding machines which seem to pay less than I have won. However, I am also continually finding machines which pay me more than I have won, so I reckon it evens out over the years. Old non-oval Gamesnets are particularly j...

If you've got to £4 on Millionaire without breaking sweat, you should sweat a little and try for the £10. Don't go back to Millionaire once you've taken the £4. Play Bullseye until it goes to 601 or above (depending on what it's setting the Bull at) I tend to avoid it if the setting is 501 and the B...

Seen one with a sterring wheel where you drive round streets picking up 2p's.

In a word, wank.

I trained my missus to empty Gamesnets once. It was a while ago, on a game with a certain trick that could be easily learned. One very different thing I noticed about this experience (only lasted a couple of months before the game was removed). She would order a coke and play it on her own. Even as ...
